Pd. Floyd et al., Heterogeneous integration of visible AlGaInP and infrared AlInGaAs lasers with GaN-based light sources, ELECTR LETT, 35(24), 1999, pp. 2120-2121
Arrays of integrated red, infrared and blue light emitters fabricated using
wafer fusion of GaAs-based laser structures to GaN-based light-emitting di
ode (LED) heterostructures are demonstrated. Successful operation of red an
d infrared lasers fused to functioning GaN LEDs has been achieved. Infrared
, AlGaInAs QW lasers (4 x 500 mu m) operating with a threshold current (I-t
h) of 30mA and external differential quantum efficiency (eta(d)) of 11.5%/f
acet at similar to 821 nm are shown. Red, GaInP QW lasers (4 x 500 mu m) op
erating with an I-th of 118mA and eta(d) of 18.7%/facet at similar to 660nm
are also shown. The adjacent InGaN/GaN LED emits at 446nm.
